To my Pioneer 1181 brothers and sisters,
I would like to take this time to thank all of you for the warm reception I received this morning at your Staten Island yard while campaigning , I would also like to personally thank your shop Stewart Ernie for his warm wishes, he is a gentleman and a good union brother.
respectfully, Thomas Salerno
Ernie is a gentleman and an good union brother. However, his cordiality and self control should not be mistaken for warmth, and certainly not an endorsement. Last election Salerno carried on like a baby because of the "reception" he got at Pioneer. Ernie was merely trying to avoid a similar scene by keeping himself in check.
Well said Buzz!
